This is definitely something most people don't know.  The retro staff had huge turnover in terms of designers and programmers while still trying to manage multiple projects.  Even the CEO of Retro was exalted from his position in the last year of the first Metroid Prime!

You can read all about it here http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=267&page=1 

Not only that, but this happens in many studios today, perhaps not as much, but who knows maybe even more so.  Nintendo doesn't necessarily need to find good people, they just need to find an outside studio that they can have a decent amount of control in.

I don't completely agree. Obviously they recognized the talent in Retro before making the changes, so they are still looking out for a certain type (and quality) of developer.

I think what they need to find is a company of mature, experienced talented individuals who would also be willing to put up with insane amounts of crap and tyranny from Nintendo... at least for the first ten years or so...
